Safety and security are paramount for families. We presently do not have an
accessible, safe, and dedicated children’s space for children’s worship. Nashville is a booming city with families moving here from all over the country. As our church and community continue to grow, we want to be prepared to minister effectively for years to come.

Rather than simply reacting to growth, Project 125 allows us to move forward with prayerful planning and faithful stewardship.

The estimated costs of this project will be around 2.75 million. The Project 125 Team will be managing the costs and approving any adjusted expenses as construction begins.

If giving exceeds the total needed for the children’s expansion, then the Project 125 Team has proposed the following in light of feedback that we have received:

—A North Entrance Canopy (estimated costs of 200k)
—Additional Parking (beyond what is included in the current project scope). This would open additional spaces on the north side of the main entrance (estimated cost of 500k).

No. We plan to move forward without borrowing money. Construction will begin
only as God provides through faithful giving and designated gifts. Also, the
Stewardship Team has a plan for us to continue servicing our present debt in a
manageable and effective way.

God continues to bring new families to our community and church. The Practice
Facility replaces a ministry resource lost in the 2020 tornado, while the Children’s
Facility helps us meet the needs of our growing church and community. Rather
than choosing one ministry opportunity over another, we are trusting God to
provide the resources for both.

In addition to supporting Mt. Juliet Christian Academy athletics, the Practice Facility will provide a versatile, multipurpose space for students, events, and more. Learn more about this exciting project and discover how you can support Raising Saints Campaign Here.

This project creates environments where children and families can connect with Jesus and one another. By doubling the size of our current children’s ministry space, we’ll provide dynamic worship experiences, flexible classrooms for one-on-one and small-group learning, and better support children with additional educational needs. These improvements will help us reach more families, serve children throughout the week, and create more opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

The new Children’s Building is designed to serve ministry seven days a week. On
Sundays, it provides worship and classroom space for Children’s Ministry. During the week, it supports Mt. Juliet Christian Academy with additional classrooms, centralized check-in, and flexible learning spaces for intervention, breakout groups, and future growth.

Our current Children’s Ministry area is located as far from the Worship Center as possible and does not provide a direct, connected way for our ministries to function together. The new location keeps children much closer to where parents are worshiping, providing greater convenience and peace of mind for families.

The additional children’s space creates a natural opportunity to revamp our café and plaza area for ministry events. They will create welcoming environments
where relationships can grow, and guests feel at home.

Some existing parking spaces will be removed, but the completed project will
provide more parking than we have today through planned expansion west of the
current lot.

No. We remain committed to investing in local and global missions while continuing to support the ministries that help us Love God, Love People, and Go.

Construction will begin once the necessary funds are provided. Our prayer is to
break ground in Fall 2026, with completion approximately one year later.

No. The building will serve Children’s Ministry, MJCA, church ministries, and
community events throughout the week. Like the rest of our campus, it is
designed to be used for ministry seven days a week for the Kingdom.
